a/n: I've noticed my stories are really getting better and getting more detailed. If you read my first song fiction about Sailor Moon "Can't Fight The MoonLight," you'll see it's not that good, but still Ok for a begginner (According to reviews). Then if you read "Don't Speak," my newest type of song fiction about Inuyasha (It also has to do with one of my favorite episodes: Episode 48!), you notice it's way longer than my first song fiction and more emotional.
If you read "Undefeatable Love," my first Inuyasha story, you can see it's a bit OUT there. Now this story, it's already getting as much reviews as "Undefeatable Love!" WOW! And this story only has 6 chapters so far and the other one has 15!!! I'm so happy I'm getting better at my writting! Thanks to all that have reviewed and inspired me to write the way I do!!!
I've been wondering if people actually read my author notes? I know I tend to talk about useless garbage sometimes :-D, but there are times when you might be interesting in what I say. But that's your time reading so whatever. I just noticed something about my last chapter, I always seemed to mention something about the past, the characters had a lot of memories. I didn't even notice that until now. HeHe, sorry if you didn't like it, I just got carried away I guess. Please read stories by WaterGoddess914, they're great. Not only are her stories great, but also her poems! I love them so much, they're always so passionate and well written. Anyways, on to the new chapter!
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"So yie all are leaving?," asked a very sad old woman. Kagome nodded as the others stood behind her, ready to head out. They had already packed up everything they might need: Food utensils (Plates and chop sticks), blankets, some medicine materials Kagome had from her recent visit to her time (Which was like 2 or 3 months ago), beauty materials (Brushes, hair spray, a little make up, etc .... Hey a girl needs to stay beautiful and Kagome always wanted to keep her great look as well as Sango now), and a few things to keep the kids entertained during the long journey (Mostly just papers and crayons Kagome also got from her 'recent' visit to her old home). Luckily Kagome still had her yellow book bag to keep all these things in so it wasn't hard to carry all those materials around.
"Thank you for everything Lady Kaede," said Miroku with up most respect. Miroku stood next to his beloved Sango with their daughter craddled in his arms. She was still resting from the terrible attack and loss of blood which she was slowly healing of. Kaede nodded in response as they all turned around and she watched them all walk down the path ahead, "May yie all stay well."
Inuyasha was trying his best to keep a serious face, but inside he felt totally different. He was, surprisingly, a little happy because they finally got to get out of that village. He, Kagome, Shippou and Miroku have lived there for 3 years and never went anywhere else. They mostly spend their time inside that stuffy old hut, but this wasn't the way he wanted to leave the village. Of course he's going to miss the village, he's lived there long and gotten used to it. He knew almost every villager there and was known as a sort of hero to them which made him feel good inside about himself. Now he had to leave on another damn journey. Anger came in on this subject. It wasn't enough that the kids and Kirara got hurt, but it was that now they had to search for a new evil demon and deal with protecting the sacred jewel. "Damn it!! I thought we finally were over all this crap," thought Inuyasha fiercely.
Kagome noticed Inuyasha was too quiet, even for him. She was about to ask him about his sudden silence, but he spoke up before she even got to open her mouth, "So where are we going again?" Kagome started to think about it and came out empty. She didn't even know the exact location of their destination so how was she supposed to give him an accurate answer.
She sighed a bit, "All we know is that we have to find some answers and we won't find them if we stay in the village. Plus we'll be an easy target for the jewel if we didn't move out. We would be putting all the villagers in trouble as well as Kaede and ourselves. We all don't want that of course," responded Kagome the best she could. Inuyasha glanced at her quickly before looking ahead. Kagome looked at him and sighed again, "He still must be mad about all of this," thought Kagome sadly, "I just didn't know he would take it that seriously. But I am mad too, this shouldn't be happening again!"
Miroku looked down at the child in his arms, "Awaken already," he kept repeating in his mind as he stared worriedly at his daughter's sleeping face. Shippou looked up at Miroku as he kept walking. He frowned as he saw Takara still resting. He had awaken not to long ago along with Kirara. They had a long sleep so they were semi-recovered. They still were weak though, but they were strong enough to walk. It wouldn't take that long for they to regain their full strength anyway, but Takara ...... Shippou kept staring at her, wishing she'd wake up already.
Sango walked next to Miroku at a slow pace. Shippou and Kirara were walking on Miroku's other side giving long glances at Takara. Sango wasn't as worried as before for Takara when she found her almost bleeding to death by that no good demon, but still, the amount of time and the fact that Takara was still asleep wasn't helping her worry completely end.
A small moan of pain got everyone's attention and they all stopped in their tracks, directing their attention and sight to the holder of the noise. Everyone's spirits were lifted and smiles were seen on all their faces. Shippou's smile was the widest of them all and if he had enough strength, he'd be jumping up and down in happiness and relief right at this moment (a/n: I hope you all know by now what's going on).
"How are you feeling Takara?," asked Sango in a sweet motherly voice. Takara had her eyes half open, but at the sound of her mother's caring voice and the sight of her father's kind face, she opened her eyes completely, showing the dark blue pools that were her eyes. Takara could feel pain, but not as much as before. She could feel that her pain was slowly leaving her body and decreasing every second with the help of the herbs Kagome gave her a long while ago. She could feel the place where the evil snake demon had bit her, but thankfully that wound was also healing.
"Me so tired," whispered Takara softly as she stared into her father's caring eyes. Miroku slightly smiled, thankful his one and only special daughter was alive and well, or as well as she can be in her condition. All that mattered at the moment was that she was finally awake and breathing. "She'll be Ok," thought Miroku as he still kept a small smile on his face.
"Sleep then Takara," said Shippou from the ground, still extremely happy Takara finally woke up from her long slumber. When he heard Takara's gentle voice, his joy only more than doubled. Takara looked to her side, away from Miroku's eyes down to Shippou's green ilumanited ones. Takara could see how happy he really was and it surprised her knowing he cared for her THAT much.
What was it of Shippou that made her feel so calm and relaxed? Even the first time they met she felt like Shippou and her were going to be the best of friends. Why did Shippou make her feel the way she did when she just simply looked at Shippou's face? Shippou asked himself the same questions in his mind. Everytime he looked at Takara, it was like all his troubles went away. He only knew her for a few days, but he felt more like he'd known her all his life.
When they both saw each other hurt and bleeding from the demon's attack, both their worlds collapsed. Now though, now that they see each other breathing normally and all cleaned up, happiness gathered and it was like it never even happened. What was this feeling they had for each other? What could it be? They were too young to understand and they weren't about to go ask any of the adults anytime soon, they didn't even know how to explain these feelings to themselves let alone other people.
Takara smiled as she nodded the best she could, "Me no more sleep Shippou," she responded, her saying coming out more like a whisper than the way she normally wanted. Shippou became a little wide eyed at how softly and sweet she said his name. Shippou smiled back at Takara with a thought running through his mind, "Yokata ..... you're going to be just fine." Kirara meowed as she jumped on to Takara's stomach and purred in saying she was happy she finally awoke too.
"Well I guess we can't force you to go back to sleep," spoke up Inuyasha, "But don't move much, you're still pretty weak and we don't want you getting in a worse condition than you already are." Inuyasha still tried to look serious, but the small smile he still held on his face was ruining that attempt. He was glad Takara finally woke up and glad that Shippou looked happy, Shippou hadn't smiled since he woke up until now. Not only Shippou, but also everyone else as well. For once after all that had happened, everyone was smiling.
Yet, Inuyasha was still mad about all that had happened ever since they all met each other once again. He tried to put that thought aside because all that mattered was that they all stayed in a good condition for now. Takara looked over at Inuyasha and nodded in agreement with his previous statement. The others kept smiles of relief on their faces as they kept walking, continuing the long journey waiting ahead of them.
~*~ Night At Camp Ground ~*~ "Takara finally regained most of her strength," said Miroku as he saw Takara talking with Shippou by his side, "And I know by tomorrow she'll be her old self again. Your herbs helped much Kagome. Arigatou." Kagome smiled a your welcome as Sango and Inuyasha nodded at Miroku's statement. Takara was finally moving on her own and talking in her normal tone, but she wasn't her usual happy and hyper self.
"Are you feeling Ok?," asked a small fox as he looked with concern to a younger smaller girl. Takara slightly smiled at Shippou, liking the fact he was so worried about her. He'd been asking every 10-15 minutes, interrupting their small and childish conversation, about her condition. Each time she'd just give him a small smile and nod to reassure him she was perfectly fine. In reality, she still had pain running through her body, but she didn't want to worry poor Shippou nor anyone else. She did enough of that when she wouldn't wake up earlier that day.
The bandages around Shippou's waist were still wrapped on him and Takara had patches over the large bite wound. Kirara also had bandages on her waist and bits of her fur still had blood stains on them. Kirara was taking care of those blood stains by licking them off (a/n: Hey, cats do that!) while she sat in Takara's lap. After a while of talking, Shippou interrupted the conversation again with a question Takara was used to by now, "Are you sure you're Ok?"
Kagome was the last to finish eating her food. She placed down the stick that held her fish over the fire for it to cook well and the remaining bones of her fish, "That was great Inuyasha! I always said you were great at catching the best fish!" Inuyasha just nodded in resposne which got Kagome a tiny bit ticked off, but she blew her anger away, for now. She knew Inuyasha was still mad so she won't start a fight about his attitude, especially not now. What she didn't get was why was he acted so cruel to HER?! It wasn't her fault this all happened, but she didn't want to ask him about it in front of everyone creating a scene. She'll ask him later about that when they're alone.
"Uncle Inuyasha catched better fishies than you Mommy," said Takara after she heard Kagome complement Inuyasha on his great catch. Takara had already finished her small fish dinner and was holding back on complementing Inuyasha until everyone else finished eating their food. That's just something she does, she likes complementing after everyone tries the thing she's going to complement about. It's something she acquired on her own for some odd reason. Sango nodded at her daughter while giving her a smile (a/n: There's a lot of smiling and nodding going on lately with these people), "You're right Takara. The food was great."
"You used to catch fish for your village or something Sango?," asked Miroku after hearing Takara's little compliment. Sango turned her head to look at Miroku who sat next to her while Takara, Kirara, and Shippou sat on Miroku's other side. Kagome and Inuyasha sat across from them with a fire in the middle, seperating the priestess-hanyou couple from the others.
"Yes, sometimes. Me and Takara would sometimes go off on our own and stay the night under the stars, like we all used to do while we were on our journey. Even though for us, we were forced to stay outdoors, me and Takara would do it just for fun. Takara didn't like being cooped up in that little village so I thought it was good to take her out for a few nights each month. We'd always go to the same spot, in a small forest near the village with a lake right there that Takara liked swimming in, with my help of course, she can't exactly swim on her own yet, but she's learning. Anyway, that's where I would catch us some fish to eat. Fish is one of Takara's favorite foods."
"That's because she hasn't tried Kagome's food from her time!," screamed Shippou interrupting Sango, "Candy is the best!" Takara looked at Shippou a bit confused and Shippou noticed it. As if Takara had asked him the question on her mind, he responded to her confused look, "I'll explain it to you tomorrow Takara. It's too confusing and late to explain now. Just know candy is the best food ever!" Takara only nodded in response.
"Candy is not food Shippou, it's something you eat after you've had your main course," said Kagome in a mother tone, "And I'll bring you some candy later Takara so you can try it too when I go to my old home," Kagome ended with a wink. Kagome now usually called her time her old home since she now lived in the Feudal Era. Sometimes she'd just call it her family's home too, but since she has a new family here with Inuyasha and Shippou, she used her old home much more often to talk about the future time.
Takara just nodded in response again even though she was more confused than ever. No one never told her about Kagome's time so of course she'd be totally oblivious to everything Shippou and Kagome said. "There's something I don't get though," Kagome spoke up again after thinking about something, "If you and Takara would always wonder around on your own, how come we never saw you two?" Miroku looked to his side at Sango to get a response to the same question Kagome asked, he was wondering this too.
"We never wondered around farther than that special spot me and Takara would always go to. That spot like I said was near the village. When I would go to fight very weak demons with other demon exterminators I trained, I'd leave Takara behind with someone in the village. The places the demons attacked that we had to get rid of never were far from the village either, I never understood why that was so. The only way we found you all was because I decided to look for Kaede's village, I knew you all might be there and thankfully my guess was right. We all know our villages are far from each other, that is why we never saw each other when either of us wandered out of the our villages."
Everyone just stayed quiet and paid close attention while Sango answered Kagome's question. When she was done, everyone still were silent and no one spoke until someone gave out a big yawn. They all turned their attention to Takara, the one who yawned. Since yawns are very contacious, Shippou also yawned and stretched out his arms in the air. He lowered his hands and looked at everyone who were now staring at the him and Takara, "What? We're just tired."
Kagome and Sango stood up and went to their children, picking them up and craddling them in their arms while Miroku prepared their bed with the blankets Kagome brought. There was enough blankets for everyone so there wasn't a problem with the number of blankets. Sango and Kagome knelt down when Miroku was done and placed the children next to each other over the bed Miroku made with the blankets.
Sango got another blanket and brought it to their necks to keep them warm in this cold night. Takara snuggled into the covers and her eyelids weighed down over her eyes immediately. "Good night," whispered Sango as she saw Shippou also falling into dream land. Kirara walked over to the kids and laid down next to Takara. Soon enough, the kitty also fell asleep.
Miroku and Sango sat back down in their spot near the fire. Kagome stayed standing up, looking around while having her hand on her chest, her hand covering the jewel she still had hanging on her neck. No one had talked about the jewel ever since they left the village and no one was planning to anytime soon, well at least until Takara was back to her old self. Inuyasha noticed Kagome looking around nervously, "What's wrong Kagome?," he asked.
Kagome looked back at him and shook her head, "Nothing." She sat back down before giving a quick glance around and sat next to Inuyasha. The stars glimmered above the group, helping and giving more light in the dark night than the fire Inuyasha had made for the night. "Remember everyone," said Kagome as she looked into the fire in front of her, "Be on your best guard. You never know what might happen." Everyone nodded in response as they got a little closer to their partners.
~*~ Morning ~*~ "Where are we going Mommy?" Sango didn't answer as Takara stared at her for an answer. Takara looked to her side, "Where are we going Daddy?" Miroku didn't answer as well. They all had woken up not too long ago and were now walking again, heading to who knows where. Kirara, Shippou and Takara all regained their strength quickly and were now back to their normal self.
Takara was asking everyone what was going on, why the left the village and demanding details on everything, but no one gave her a straight answer since none of them exactly knew. They'd all just say, "I'll explain later" or "Not now, ask later." It was getting really annoying. They didn't want to give the girl so many details on the situation anyway, it might really scare her. Kirara was transformed and Takara and Shippou rode on her back. Sango was walking on Kirara's left as Miroku walked on Kirara's right. Inuyasha and Kagome were in front of the whole group.
"Has she stopped asking everyone the same questions?," asked Kagome to Inuyasha. Inuyasha looked over his shoulder and shook his head. Kagome sighed, "She'll never give up, what a fiesty little girl. Takes after her mom and dad a lot," she ends with a little laugh. Inuyasha just looked forward, never once giving her a spoken answer. Kagome had it, she wanted to know what the hell was wrong with him, "Look Inuyasha! I know you're mad about all of this, but that doesn't mean you have to be taking it all out on me! I don't want to do this anymore than you do, but we have no other choice."
"I've been sensing something disturbing ever since we left the village. Like someone has been watching us. I've been trying to stay quiet about it because I didn't want to worry anyone. I have a feeling the thing that might be watching us is someone sent by that demon snake's master to keep an eye on our every move. We still have no idea about this master demon," Inuyasha paused for a moment, "But I'm afraid that whoever this master demon is, she might be stronger than Naraku ever was."
Kagome stood silent as she stared at Inuyasha, "Stronger than Naraku?," she asked herself in thought. That can't be, Naraku was hard enough. They almost lost in battle even though they were using all their possible strength against Naraku. And now there was a demon coming after the jewel that's stronger?! How can that be? "No," said Kagome to herself, "I won't believe it until I witness it myself."
Kagome looked over her shoulder when she noticed no one was talking anymore and when she didn't hear footsteps behind her. Kagome turned around and saw everyone behind her had stopped. Inuyasha stopped and turned around as well when he saw Kagome no longer by his side. "What's wrong?," asked Kagome. Miroku tightened his grip on his staff and ran around Kirara to get in front of Sango. He got in a fighting position as he stood in front of Sango and Kirara in order to protect them all. Kagome saw Miroku's sudden actions and grabbed her bow and an arrow, preparing herself for anything. Inuyasha placed a hand over his sword's shieth, ready to take out his mighty sword and strike at any possible enemy.
Bushes were heard and seen moving. Also a small voice was heard by everyone behind the bushes, but none of them could make out what the voice was saying. Inuyasha glared at the moving leaves, waiting for something evil to come out, "Is this the thing I was sensing from before?," asked Inuyasha to himself in thought. Everyone paid close attention to the bushes, even Takara and Shippou. They were ready for anything or anyone.
"Hi Miroku," said a short figure that came out of the bushes, "I haven't seen you for some time." Everyone stared and blinked many times at a small raccoon youkai with purple and blue clothing on. Everyone sighed and got out of their alert pose. They lowered their weapons and calmed down when they made out who it really was. Thankfully that demon wasn't a threat to them at all.
"Hello Hachi. You startled us," answered Miroku as he took in a deep breath and loosened his grip on his holy staff.
"Very sorry. I just came to see you since we haven't seen each other in some years," answered Hachi.
Miroku nodded as he patted Hachi on the back, "It has been long my friend. Way too long."
Kagome walked over to Hachi and stopped when she was in front of him. She extended her hand, "Hi Hachi. It's very nice to see you again." Inuyasha walked up to them all and stood next to Kagome.
"Likewise," responded Hachi as he and Kagome shook hands. When they let go of each other's hands, Hachi looked at each person and noticed someone who he's never seen before, "Who's that?," he asked curiously, "She looks like ....," he paused as he looked at Miroku, "Like you master Miroku." Sango was about to respond, but she stopped when she knew it was going to be pointless to even try. She smiled when she saw Kagome about to begin her usual routine now. Kagome pulled Hachi to a nearby tree and motioned him to sit. They both sat down and Kagome started the story all over again (a/n: It beats repeating the story over and over again. Saves me typing time and you reading time).
As Kagome talked about everything that happened, repeating exactly every detail she told Kaede, as Hachi just stayed quiet and listened extensively, Takara tapped her mother on the shoulder. Sango turned to her and waited for Takara to say what she wanted. "Who is that Mommy?" Sango smiled and looked at Shippou, motioning for him to explain it to her, he could make it more simple to her than Sango could. Shippou nodded at Sango and looked at Takara.
"See that's Hachi, one of Miroku's best friends. He's a raccoon youkai that used to helps us out sometimes in stuff we used to do before you were born. He has the power to change into weird things. He has an odd sense of humor, but he's a little bit of a coward. He's very gentle and always tries to help Miroku whenever he can, even though Miroku would take the girls from him. Miroku used to be such a perv," explained Shippou with a laugh in the end.
Takara paid close attention to Shippou's explanation and when he was done, she had some questions in mind, "What does perv mean and what does Hachu turn into?" Shippou had to laugh when Takara said 'Hachu' instead of Hachi. Takara just stared at him confused. Shippou tried to calm down and stop laughing to begin to answer Takara's questions.
Sango heard her daughter's questions and before Shippou could try to explain, she covered his mouth and smiled innocently at Takara, "You'll learn about that later in life Takara. You're too young now," said Sango calmly. Takara pouted and rolled her eyes, she was, like Shippou, used to that response from her mom. Each time Takara would ask a question, her answer from her mom was usually that same statement Sango just said. It was getting a little annoying now.
"Very interesting story," said Hachi after Kagome's explanation of everything that happened ever since they were all reunited. Kagome wasn't getting tired of telling the story over again and she doesn't think she'll be getting tired anytime soon. She liked filling people in on what's going even if she maybe saying the same thing over again to different people. She just had to make sure she didn't tell the wrong people the story.
"Yeah it is I guess. And when you came, we all thought it was a demon coming after the jewel. Thankfully it was just you," said Kagome with a big smile on her face. She was glad it wasn't a demon that appeared out of the bushes. She was glad to meet an old friend instead of a blood thirsty creature after the jewel and their bodies covered in their own blood.
Hachi smiled as he stood up. He looked at Miroku, "It seems that you've been busy master Miroku. So now you're not the lecher you used to be?" Miroku stared at Hachi and shook his head for an answer to his 'ridiculous' question. There it was again, the word Takara had no clue about, but was pretty sure it meant something bad if her parents won't tell her what it meant. She started to think up on meanings on the word, but came out completly empty.
Hachi looked over at Kirara, where Takara and Shippou were still sat on her back. He then focused his attention on Sango who looked like she was in deep thought. He walked over to her with Kagome, Inuyasha, and Miroku behind him. They all started to wonder why she was so quiet and what she was thinking about.
"Is there something wrong?," asked Miroku in concern. Sango snapped out of it and saw everyone was now staring straight at her, "I wanted to ask you all a favor." Everyone looked at her strangely and started to wonder what her favor was. Hopefully it wasn't anything really extreme, even though they didn't know what would be a extreme favor at the time.
"Sure you can, what is it?," asked Kagome. She was getting really worried with every second that passed by. Sango was quiet, thinking about something everyone else was dying to know. "Sango? What is it?," asked Kagome once again with a little frustration in the background of the question.
"Can we go back to my village? I need to go get my weapon back, I won't be much help without it. I just realized that when we all thought Hachi was a demon after the jewel. I didn't bring it because I didn't think we'd need it since Naraku was destroyed and there weren't any strong demons I couldn't destroy with just nearby material. I guess I was wrong," said Sango with a sigh.
Everyone looked at her and all nodded. "Sure Sango! That's a good idea! Not only will we get your Hiraikotsu back, but we'll see how your village is now. At least now we all know where we're heading off in," said Kagome with a little happiness. Thankfully Sango's request wasn't that bad, even though, STILL, no one knew what a bad favor would of been. Takara smiled when she heard they were going to her home, she wanted to see some old friends, even if there were only a few. Miroku had a bad feeling a visit to Sango's village was not going to be a pleasant one.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
a/n: I haven't received reviews from some people and I'm wondering if you're still reading my story. I sure hope you are (You all know who you are)!! And to those that put me as your favorite author or have this story under their favorite stories list, THANK YOU SO MUCH! I really appreacite it. Also, I just found out that FanFiction has nothing to do with me not receiving some reviews so don't blame them (I never thought I'd say that) or me if I don't respond to your great reviews!
Thalian - Happy you like my story and that you read it. Even though you (Along with others) write small reviews, I always feel that I have to respond in a way because you actually took the time to read my story and review. Others just might read and not review or just not read at all. Thanks for being the ones that do both read and review.
RavenShadow - Thanks for reviewing and reading my story! Don't you just love the new adventure unfolding?! LoLz Yeah you do, you just told me that in the review *Hits own head* Me and my stupidity, I don't know how my friends suffer with it *Smiles innocently* I'm happy you read the story and liked it, I hope to hear from you again and sorry if I get a little behind on updates.
Icecream0626 - That's what I thought! Thinking about my Sesshoumaru like that! What's wrong with you?! How dare you?! *Throws things at her, but has such lame aim that she misses by a mile* :-D I know as much as you do that there's many people who love my Sesshy, but I can't kill them all, believe me, I've tried ....... Anyway, I'm happy you reviewed again and liked all the chapters. Hope to hear from you again!
WaterGoddess914 - Thanks for reviewing for all my Inuyasha stories! And extra thanks for making all those great poems, making that great one shots, making Dancing To Love, and making that new story! I LOVE ALL YOUR WORK! Oh, I forgot to thank you for IMing me to thank me on reviewing for your stories and poems. So many thank you's here huh? LoLz! Well hope you keep liking my stories and hope you update and write new stories and poems soon!
Babsie - I'm happy you like the whole Sango and Miroku deal (Of course because that's what the story is mostly about, LoLz). About the whole Kikyou and Inuyasha thing, you have to wait until later chapters. I'd tell you now (Believe me, I'm trying really hard not to give parts of the story away), but that'd ruin the story for you and also maybe for others. I have to thank you though, because you asked me those questions, I got an idea for the story! THANKS SO MUCH (Even though you didn't mean to give me the idea)! Again I say I might not be able to update soon because of school, but I will try my best so be patient with me please!
Joya Sagrada - YES! 59 CHAPTERS! You should go read it, it's really good and when the author posts up about 3 more chapters, the story will be over (Kind of like my other Inuyasha story huh? It's almost done in 3 chapters too). Thanks for reading my new one shot story and reading my new chapter chica (Even if you were a little late LoLz The good thing is that you reviewed and that's all that matters). I can't wait to hang out with you again chica, it was fun at Monday! ^_^ 17 SITS! Pobresito Inuyasha! You need to thank me, I introduced you to your new lover Bankoutsu! Hehe ..... Well hope you like this new chapter and remember: Kouga and Sesshoumaru are mine! You can ALL the others! And if you say no in a review, email, in person or IM, that means you're a bitch and you lose all your benefits to any Inuyasha character! *Laughs evilly* You know I love you mi Yesenia Colomriqueña!
Akikaze no Uta - Hey, I loved your long review! And I'm here to end some of your confusement of my story! First off I agree with you on Kouga and Ayame, Kouga just 'loved' Kagome because of her ability to sense the Shikon shards. How can love be built on that? Second, Miroku and Sango's meeting was really rushed, I know that. I even thought of taking off the chapter and wait for later to reunite them, but I already had people that read that chapter so I thought it'd be dumb to take it down then. Plus, I didn't know how to delay their reuniting so I left it the way I did. I'm sorry about rushing it, I'll try my best in not rushing other events in the story. The dialogue between Sango and Miroku are a little forced sometimes too because it's semi hard for me to make talks between them. I mean, you regurlary see them screaming at each other because of Miroku's grabs and touches (HeHe, I love him for that though!) and when they're actually being serious and stuff, they don't even talk much! *Sigh* Maybe that's just me though. Promise I'll try my best on others to make them better. About Miroku never meeting Sango before those few years, I've explained it in this chapter just for you! LoLz I hope you're not confused about it anymore. I love the way I've made Takara and Shippou! I didn't even try to make them that way! It just came out that way naturally in a way! LoLz I'm happy you think the story is well written! *Smiles* And about our birthdays, what a coincidence! That's so cool! I chat with some people around my age that live all over the US now. How did I meet them? Because they read my stories or I read their stories. So it really doesn't matter where we live, IM is a great new invention that helps us solve that problem! LoLz Well, I wrote just a LITTLE too much here, hehe, BYE! Hope to hear from you again!
a/n: WHOA! This chapter sucked! I'm so sorry! I just didn't really have an idea for this chapter, all my mind is worried about is school, projects, tests, grades and of course every girl's concern, boys. *Sighs* I told you all school was evil! It should of never been thought of! But if it wasn't, we'd all be living in a world where we all speak like babies, everyone dies from a mosquito bite and worst of all, a world with no computers or internet!!!!!!! AHH!! *Sighs again to calm down* Well, hope you didn't get bored in this chapter, sorry it sucked. Hope others will have more effort and be much better.
If you read "Undefeatable Love," my first Inuyasha story, you can see it's a bit OUT there. Now this story, it's already getting as much reviews as "Undefeatable Love!" WOW! And this story only has 6 chapters so far and the other one has 15!!! I'm so happy I'm getting better at my writting! Thanks to all that have reviewed and inspired me to write the way I do!!!
I've been wondering if people actually read my author notes? I know I tend to talk about useless garbage sometimes :-D, but there are times when you might be interesting in what I say. But that's your time reading so whatever. I just noticed something about my last chapter, I always seemed to mention something about the past, the characters had a lot of memories. I didn't even notice that until now. HeHe, sorry if you didn't like it, I just got carried away I guess. Please read stories by WaterGoddess914, they're great. Not only are her stories great, but also her poems! I love them so much, they're always so passionate and well written. Anyways, on to the new chapter!
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"So yie all are leaving?," asked a very sad old woman. Kagome nodded as the others stood behind her, ready to head out. They had already packed up everything they might need: Food utensils (Plates and chop sticks), blankets, some medicine materials Kagome had from her recent visit to her time (Which was like 2 or 3 months ago), beauty materials (Brushes, hair spray, a little make up, etc .... Hey a girl needs to stay beautiful and Kagome always wanted to keep her great look as well as Sango now), and a few things to keep the kids entertained during the long journey (Mostly just papers and crayons Kagome also got from her 'recent' visit to her old home). Luckily Kagome still had her yellow book bag to keep all these things in so it wasn't hard to carry all those materials around.
"Thank you for everything Lady Kaede," said Miroku with up most respect. Miroku stood next to his beloved Sango with their daughter craddled in his arms. She was still resting from the terrible attack and loss of blood which she was slowly healing of. Kaede nodded in response as they all turned around and she watched them all walk down the path ahead, "May yie all stay well."
Inuyasha was trying his best to keep a serious face, but inside he felt totally different. He was, surprisingly, a little happy because they finally got to get out of that village. He, Kagome, Shippou and Miroku have lived there for 3 years and never went anywhere else. They mostly spend their time inside that stuffy old hut, but this wasn't the way he wanted to leave the village. Of course he's going to miss the village, he's lived there long and gotten used to it. He knew almost every villager there and was known as a sort of hero to them which made him feel good inside about himself. Now he had to leave on another damn journey. Anger came in on this subject. It wasn't enough that the kids and Kirara got hurt, but it was that now they had to search for a new evil demon and deal with protecting the sacred jewel. "Damn it!! I thought we finally were over all this crap," thought Inuyasha fiercely.
Kagome noticed Inuyasha was too quiet, even for him. She was about to ask him about his sudden silence, but he spoke up before she even got to open her mouth, "So where are we going again?" Kagome started to think about it and came out empty. She didn't even know the exact location of their destination so how was she supposed to give him an accurate answer.
She sighed a bit, "All we know is that we have to find some answers and we won't find them if we stay in the village. Plus we'll be an easy target for the jewel if we didn't move out. We would be putting all the villagers in trouble as well as Kaede and ourselves. We all don't want that of course," responded Kagome the best she could. Inuyasha glanced at her quickly before looking ahead. Kagome looked at him and sighed again, "He still must be mad about all of this," thought Kagome sadly, "I just didn't know he would take it that seriously. But I am mad too, this shouldn't be happening again!"
Miroku looked down at the child in his arms, "Awaken already," he kept repeating in his mind as he stared worriedly at his daughter's sleeping face. Shippou looked up at Miroku as he kept walking. He frowned as he saw Takara still resting. He had awaken not to long ago along with Kirara. They had a long sleep so they were semi-recovered. They still were weak though, but they were strong enough to walk. It wouldn't take that long for they to regain their full strength anyway, but Takara ...... Shippou kept staring at her, wishing she'd wake up already.
Sango walked next to Miroku at a slow pace. Shippou and Kirara were walking on Miroku's other side giving long glances at Takara. Sango wasn't as worried as before for Takara when she found her almost bleeding to death by that no good demon, but still, the amount of time and the fact that Takara was still asleep wasn't helping her worry completely end.
A small moan of pain got everyone's attention and they all stopped in their tracks, directing their attention and sight to the holder of the noise. Everyone's spirits were lifted and smiles were seen on all their faces. Shippou's smile was the widest of them all and if he had enough strength, he'd be jumping up and down in happiness and relief right at this moment (a/n: I hope you all know by now what's going on).
"How are you feeling Takara?," asked Sango in a sweet motherly voice. Takara had her eyes half open, but at the sound of her mother's caring voice and the sight of her father's kind face, she opened her eyes completely, showing the dark blue pools that were her eyes. Takara could feel pain, but not as much as before. She could feel that her pain was slowly leaving her body and decreasing every second with the help of the herbs Kagome gave her a long while ago. She could feel the place where the evil snake demon had bit her, but thankfully that wound was also healing.
"Me so tired," whispered Takara softly as she stared into her father's caring eyes. Miroku slightly smiled, thankful his one and only special daughter was alive and well, or as well as she can be in her condition. All that mattered at the moment was that she was finally awake and breathing. "She'll be Ok," thought Miroku as he still kept a small smile on his face.
"Sleep then Takara," said Shippou from the ground, still extremely happy Takara finally woke up from her long slumber. When he heard Takara's gentle voice, his joy only more than doubled. Takara looked to her side, away from Miroku's eyes down to Shippou's green ilumanited ones. Takara could see how happy he really was and it surprised her knowing he cared for her THAT much.
What was it of Shippou that made her feel so calm and relaxed? Even the first time they met she felt like Shippou and her were going to be the best of friends. Why did Shippou make her feel the way she did when she just simply looked at Shippou's face? Shippou asked himself the same questions in his mind. Everytime he looked at Takara, it was like all his troubles went away. He only knew her for a few days, but he felt more like he'd known her all his life.
When they both saw each other hurt and bleeding from the demon's attack, both their worlds collapsed. Now though, now that they see each other breathing normally and all cleaned up, happiness gathered and it was like it never even happened. What was this feeling they had for each other? What could it be? They were too young to understand and they weren't about to go ask any of the adults anytime soon, they didn't even know how to explain these feelings to themselves let alone other people.
Takara smiled as she nodded the best she could, "Me no more sleep Shippou," she responded, her saying coming out more like a whisper than the way she normally wanted. Shippou became a little wide eyed at how softly and sweet she said his name. Shippou smiled back at Takara with a thought running through his mind, "Yokata ..... you're going to be just fine." Kirara meowed as she jumped on to Takara's stomach and purred in saying she was happy she finally awoke too.
"Well I guess we can't force you to go back to sleep," spoke up Inuyasha, "But don't move much, you're still pretty weak and we don't want you getting in a worse condition than you already are." Inuyasha still tried to look serious, but the small smile he still held on his face was ruining that attempt. He was glad Takara finally woke up and glad that Shippou looked happy, Shippou hadn't smiled since he woke up until now. Not only Shippou, but also everyone else as well. For once after all that had happened, everyone was smiling.
Yet, Inuyasha was still mad about all that had happened ever since they all met each other once again. He tried to put that thought aside because all that mattered was that they all stayed in a good condition for now. Takara looked over at Inuyasha and nodded in agreement with his previous statement. The others kept smiles of relief on their faces as they kept walking, continuing the long journey waiting ahead of them.
~*~ Night At Camp Ground ~*~ "Takara finally regained most of her strength," said Miroku as he saw Takara talking with Shippou by his side, "And I know by tomorrow she'll be her old self again. Your herbs helped much Kagome. Arigatou." Kagome smiled a your welcome as Sango and Inuyasha nodded at Miroku's statement. Takara was finally moving on her own and talking in her normal tone, but she wasn't her usual happy and hyper self.
"Are you feeling Ok?," asked a small fox as he looked with concern to a younger smaller girl. Takara slightly smiled at Shippou, liking the fact he was so worried about her. He'd been asking every 10-15 minutes, interrupting their small and childish conversation, about her condition. Each time she'd just give him a small smile and nod to reassure him she was perfectly fine. In reality, she still had pain running through her body, but she didn't want to worry poor Shippou nor anyone else. She did enough of that when she wouldn't wake up earlier that day.
The bandages around Shippou's waist were still wrapped on him and Takara had patches over the large bite wound. Kirara also had bandages on her waist and bits of her fur still had blood stains on them. Kirara was taking care of those blood stains by licking them off (a/n: Hey, cats do that!) while she sat in Takara's lap. After a while of talking, Shippou interrupted the conversation again with a question Takara was used to by now, "Are you sure you're Ok?"
Kagome was the last to finish eating her food. She placed down the stick that held her fish over the fire for it to cook well and the remaining bones of her fish, "That was great Inuyasha! I always said you were great at catching the best fish!" Inuyasha just nodded in resposne which got Kagome a tiny bit ticked off, but she blew her anger away, for now. She knew Inuyasha was still mad so she won't start a fight about his attitude, especially not now. What she didn't get was why was he acted so cruel to HER?! It wasn't her fault this all happened, but she didn't want to ask him about it in front of everyone creating a scene. She'll ask him later about that when they're alone.
"Uncle Inuyasha catched better fishies than you Mommy," said Takara after she heard Kagome complement Inuyasha on his great catch. Takara had already finished her small fish dinner and was holding back on complementing Inuyasha until everyone else finished eating their food. That's just something she does, she likes complementing after everyone tries the thing she's going to complement about. It's something she acquired on her own for some odd reason. Sango nodded at her daughter while giving her a smile (a/n: There's a lot of smiling and nodding going on lately with these people), "You're right Takara. The food was great."
"You used to catch fish for your village or something Sango?," asked Miroku after hearing Takara's little compliment. Sango turned her head to look at Miroku who sat next to her while Takara, Kirara, and Shippou sat on Miroku's other side. Kagome and Inuyasha sat across from them with a fire in the middle, seperating the priestess-hanyou couple from the others.
"Yes, sometimes. Me and Takara would sometimes go off on our own and stay the night under the stars, like we all used to do while we were on our journey. Even though for us, we were forced to stay outdoors, me and Takara would do it just for fun. Takara didn't like being cooped up in that little village so I thought it was good to take her out for a few nights each month. We'd always go to the same spot, in a small forest near the village with a lake right there that Takara liked swimming in, with my help of course, she can't exactly swim on her own yet, but she's learning. Anyway, that's where I would catch us some fish to eat. Fish is one of Takara's favorite foods."
"That's because she hasn't tried Kagome's food from her time!," screamed Shippou interrupting Sango, "Candy is the best!" Takara looked at Shippou a bit confused and Shippou noticed it. As if Takara had asked him the question on her mind, he responded to her confused look, "I'll explain it to you tomorrow Takara. It's too confusing and late to explain now. Just know candy is the best food ever!" Takara only nodded in response.
"Candy is not food Shippou, it's something you eat after you've had your main course," said Kagome in a mother tone, "And I'll bring you some candy later Takara so you can try it too when I go to my old home," Kagome ended with a wink. Kagome now usually called her time her old home since she now lived in the Feudal Era. Sometimes she'd just call it her family's home too, but since she has a new family here with Inuyasha and Shippou, she used her old home much more often to talk about the future time.
Takara just nodded in response again even though she was more confused than ever. No one never told her about Kagome's time so of course she'd be totally oblivious to everything Shippou and Kagome said. "There's something I don't get though," Kagome spoke up again after thinking about something, "If you and Takara would always wonder around on your own, how come we never saw you two?" Miroku looked to his side at Sango to get a response to the same question Kagome asked, he was wondering this too.
"We never wondered around farther than that special spot me and Takara would always go to. That spot like I said was near the village. When I would go to fight very weak demons with other demon exterminators I trained, I'd leave Takara behind with someone in the village. The places the demons attacked that we had to get rid of never were far from the village either, I never understood why that was so. The only way we found you all was because I decided to look for Kaede's village, I knew you all might be there and thankfully my guess was right. We all know our villages are far from each other, that is why we never saw each other when either of us wandered out of the our villages."
Everyone just stayed quiet and paid close attention while Sango answered Kagome's question. When she was done, everyone still were silent and no one spoke until someone gave out a big yawn. They all turned their attention to Takara, the one who yawned. Since yawns are very contacious, Shippou also yawned and stretched out his arms in the air. He lowered his hands and looked at everyone who were now staring at the him and Takara, "What? We're just tired."
Kagome and Sango stood up and went to their children, picking them up and craddling them in their arms while Miroku prepared their bed with the blankets Kagome brought. There was enough blankets for everyone so there wasn't a problem with the number of blankets. Sango and Kagome knelt down when Miroku was done and placed the children next to each other over the bed Miroku made with the blankets.
Sango got another blanket and brought it to their necks to keep them warm in this cold night. Takara snuggled into the covers and her eyelids weighed down over her eyes immediately. "Good night," whispered Sango as she saw Shippou also falling into dream land. Kirara walked over to the kids and laid down next to Takara. Soon enough, the kitty also fell asleep.
Miroku and Sango sat back down in their spot near the fire. Kagome stayed standing up, looking around while having her hand on her chest, her hand covering the jewel she still had hanging on her neck. No one had talked about the jewel ever since they left the village and no one was planning to anytime soon, well at least until Takara was back to her old self. Inuyasha noticed Kagome looking around nervously, "What's wrong Kagome?," he asked.
Kagome looked back at him and shook her head, "Nothing." She sat back down before giving a quick glance around and sat next to Inuyasha. The stars glimmered above the group, helping and giving more light in the dark night than the fire Inuyasha had made for the night. "Remember everyone," said Kagome as she looked into the fire in front of her, "Be on your best guard. You never know what might happen." Everyone nodded in response as they got a little closer to their partners.
~*~ Morning ~*~ "Where are we going Mommy?" Sango didn't answer as Takara stared at her for an answer. Takara looked to her side, "Where are we going Daddy?" Miroku didn't answer as well. They all had woken up not too long ago and were now walking again, heading to who knows where. Kirara, Shippou and Takara all regained their strength quickly and were now back to their normal self.
Takara was asking everyone what was going on, why the left the village and demanding details on everything, but no one gave her a straight answer since none of them exactly knew. They'd all just say, "I'll explain later" or "Not now, ask later." It was getting really annoying. They didn't want to give the girl so many details on the situation anyway, it might really scare her. Kirara was transformed and Takara and Shippou rode on her back. Sango was walking on Kirara's left as Miroku walked on Kirara's right. Inuyasha and Kagome were in front of the whole group.
"Has she stopped asking everyone the same questions?," asked Kagome to Inuyasha. Inuyasha looked over his shoulder and shook his head. Kagome sighed, "She'll never give up, what a fiesty little girl. Takes after her mom and dad a lot," she ends with a little laugh. Inuyasha just looked forward, never once giving her a spoken answer. Kagome had it, she wanted to know what the hell was wrong with him, "Look Inuyasha! I know you're mad about all of this, but that doesn't mean you have to be taking it all out on me! I don't want to do this anymore than you do, but we have no other choice."
"I've been sensing something disturbing ever since we left the village. Like someone has been watching us. I've been trying to stay quiet about it because I didn't want to worry anyone. I have a feeling the thing that might be watching us is someone sent by that demon snake's master to keep an eye on our every move. We still have no idea about this master demon," Inuyasha paused for a moment, "But I'm afraid that whoever this master demon is, she might be stronger than Naraku ever was."
Kagome stood silent as she stared at Inuyasha, "Stronger than Naraku?," she asked herself in thought. That can't be, Naraku was hard enough. They almost lost in battle even though they were using all their possible strength against Naraku. And now there was a demon coming after the jewel that's stronger?! How can that be? "No," said Kagome to herself, "I won't believe it until I witness it myself."
Kagome looked over her shoulder when she noticed no one was talking anymore and when she didn't hear footsteps behind her. Kagome turned around and saw everyone behind her had stopped. Inuyasha stopped and turned around as well when he saw Kagome no longer by his side. "What's wrong?," asked Kagome. Miroku tightened his grip on his staff and ran around Kirara to get in front of Sango. He got in a fighting position as he stood in front of Sango and Kirara in order to protect them all. Kagome saw Miroku's sudden actions and grabbed her bow and an arrow, preparing herself for anything. Inuyasha placed a hand over his sword's shieth, ready to take out his mighty sword and strike at any possible enemy.
Bushes were heard and seen moving. Also a small voice was heard by everyone behind the bushes, but none of them could make out what the voice was saying. Inuyasha glared at the moving leaves, waiting for something evil to come out, "Is this the thing I was sensing from before?," asked Inuyasha to himself in thought. Everyone paid close attention to the bushes, even Takara and Shippou. They were ready for anything or anyone.
"Hi Miroku," said a short figure that came out of the bushes, "I haven't seen you for some time." Everyone stared and blinked many times at a small raccoon youkai with purple and blue clothing on. Everyone sighed and got out of their alert pose. They lowered their weapons and calmed down when they made out who it really was. Thankfully that demon wasn't a threat to them at all.
"Hello Hachi. You startled us," answered Miroku as he took in a deep breath and loosened his grip on his holy staff.
"Very sorry. I just came to see you since we haven't seen each other in some years," answered Hachi.
Miroku nodded as he patted Hachi on the back, "It has been long my friend. Way too long."
Kagome walked over to Hachi and stopped when she was in front of him. She extended her hand, "Hi Hachi. It's very nice to see you again." Inuyasha walked up to them all and stood next to Kagome.
"Likewise," responded Hachi as he and Kagome shook hands. When they let go of each other's hands, Hachi looked at each person and noticed someone who he's never seen before, "Who's that?," he asked curiously, "She looks like ....," he paused as he looked at Miroku, "Like you master Miroku." Sango was about to respond, but she stopped when she knew it was going to be pointless to even try. She smiled when she saw Kagome about to begin her usual routine now. Kagome pulled Hachi to a nearby tree and motioned him to sit. They both sat down and Kagome started the story all over again (a/n: It beats repeating the story over and over again. Saves me typing time and you reading time).
As Kagome talked about everything that happened, repeating exactly every detail she told Kaede, as Hachi just stayed quiet and listened extensively, Takara tapped her mother on the shoulder. Sango turned to her and waited for Takara to say what she wanted. "Who is that Mommy?" Sango smiled and looked at Shippou, motioning for him to explain it to her, he could make it more simple to her than Sango could. Shippou nodded at Sango and looked at Takara.
"See that's Hachi, one of Miroku's best friends. He's a raccoon youkai that used to helps us out sometimes in stuff we used to do before you were born. He has the power to change into weird things. He has an odd sense of humor, but he's a little bit of a coward. He's very gentle and always tries to help Miroku whenever he can, even though Miroku would take the girls from him. Miroku used to be such a perv," explained Shippou with a laugh in the end.
Takara paid close attention to Shippou's explanation and when he was done, she had some questions in mind, "What does perv mean and what does Hachu turn into?" Shippou had to laugh when Takara said 'Hachu' instead of Hachi. Takara just stared at him confused. Shippou tried to calm down and stop laughing to begin to answer Takara's questions.
Sango heard her daughter's questions and before Shippou could try to explain, she covered his mouth and smiled innocently at Takara, "You'll learn about that later in life Takara. You're too young now," said Sango calmly. Takara pouted and rolled her eyes, she was, like Shippou, used to that response from her mom. Each time Takara would ask a question, her answer from her mom was usually that same statement Sango just said. It was getting a little annoying now.
"Very interesting story," said Hachi after Kagome's explanation of everything that happened ever since they were all reunited. Kagome wasn't getting tired of telling the story over again and she doesn't think she'll be getting tired anytime soon. She liked filling people in on what's going even if she maybe saying the same thing over again to different people. She just had to make sure she didn't tell the wrong people the story.
"Yeah it is I guess. And when you came, we all thought it was a demon coming after the jewel. Thankfully it was just you," said Kagome with a big smile on her face. She was glad it wasn't a demon that appeared out of the bushes. She was glad to meet an old friend instead of a blood thirsty creature after the jewel and their bodies covered in their own blood.
Hachi smiled as he stood up. He looked at Miroku, "It seems that you've been busy master Miroku. So now you're not the lecher you used to be?" Miroku stared at Hachi and shook his head for an answer to his 'ridiculous' question. There it was again, the word Takara had no clue about, but was pretty sure it meant something bad if her parents won't tell her what it meant. She started to think up on meanings on the word, but came out completly empty.
Hachi looked over at Kirara, where Takara and Shippou were still sat on her back. He then focused his attention on Sango who looked like she was in deep thought. He walked over to her with Kagome, Inuyasha, and Miroku behind him. They all started to wonder why she was so quiet and what she was thinking about.
"Is there something wrong?," asked Miroku in concern. Sango snapped out of it and saw everyone was now staring straight at her, "I wanted to ask you all a favor." Everyone looked at her strangely and started to wonder what her favor was. Hopefully it wasn't anything really extreme, even though they didn't know what would be a extreme favor at the time.
"Sure you can, what is it?," asked Kagome. She was getting really worried with every second that passed by. Sango was quiet, thinking about something everyone else was dying to know. "Sango? What is it?," asked Kagome once again with a little frustration in the background of the question.
"Can we go back to my village? I need to go get my weapon back, I won't be much help without it. I just realized that when we all thought Hachi was a demon after the jewel. I didn't bring it because I didn't think we'd need it since Naraku was destroyed and there weren't any strong demons I couldn't destroy with just nearby material. I guess I was wrong," said Sango with a sigh.
Everyone looked at her and all nodded. "Sure Sango! That's a good idea! Not only will we get your Hiraikotsu back, but we'll see how your village is now. At least now we all know where we're heading off in," said Kagome with a little happiness. Thankfully Sango's request wasn't that bad, even though, STILL, no one knew what a bad favor would of been. Takara smiled when she heard they were going to her home, she wanted to see some old friends, even if there were only a few. Miroku had a bad feeling a visit to Sango's village was not going to be a pleasant one.

And to those that put me as your favorite author or have this story under their favorite stories list, THANK YOU SO MUCH! I really appreacite it. Also, I just found out that FanFiction has nothing to do with me not receiving some reviews so don't blame them (I never thought I'd say that) or me if I don't respond to your great reviews!
Thalian - Happy you like my story and that you read it. Even though you (Along with others) write small reviews, I always feel that I have to respond in a way because you actually took the time to read my story and review. Others just might read and not review or just not read at all. Thanks for being the ones that do both read and review.
RavenShadow - Thanks for reviewing and reading my story! Don't you just love the new adventure unfolding?! LoLz Yeah you do, you just told me that in the review *Hits own head* Me and my stupidity, I don't know how my friends suffer with it *Smiles innocently* I'm happy you read the story and liked it, I hope to hear from you again and sorry if I get a little behind on updates.
Icecream0626 - That's what I thought! Thinking about my Sesshoumaru like that! What's wrong with you?! How dare you?! *Throws things at her, but has such lame aim that she misses by a mile* :-D I know as much as you do that there's many people who love my Sesshy, but I can't kill them all, believe me, I've tried .......

Thanks for reading my new one shot story and reading my new chapter chica (Even if you were a little late LoLz The good thing is that you reviewed and that's all that matters). I can't wait to hang out with you again chica, it was fun at Monday! ^_^ 17 SITS! Pobresito Inuyasha! You need to thank me, I introduced you to your new lover Bankoutsu! Hehe ..... Well hope you like this new chapter and remember: Kouga and Sesshoumaru are mine! You can ALL the others! And if you say no in a review, email, in person or IM, that means you're a bitch and you lose all your benefits to any Inuyasha character! *Laughs evilly* You know I love you mi Yesenia Colomriqueña!
Akikaze no Uta - Hey, I loved your long review! And I'm here to end some of your confusement of my story! First off I agree with you on Kouga and Ayame, Kouga just 'loved' Kagome because of her ability to sense the Shikon shards. How can love be built on that? Second, Miroku and Sango's meeting was really rushed, I know that. I even thought of taking off the chapter and wait for later to reunite them, but I already had people that read that chapter so I thought it'd be dumb to take it down then. Plus, I didn't know how to delay their reuniting so I left it the way I did. I'm sorry about rushing it, I'll try my best in not rushing other events in the story. The dialogue between Sango and Miroku are a little forced sometimes too because it's semi hard for me to make talks between them. I mean, you regurlary see them screaming at each other because of Miroku's grabs and touches (HeHe, I love him for that though!) and when they're actually being serious and stuff, they don't even talk much! *Sigh* Maybe that's just me though. Promise I'll try my best on others to make them better. About Miroku never meeting Sango before those few years, I've explained it in this chapter just for you! LoLz I hope you're not confused about it anymore. I love the way I've made Takara and Shippou! I didn't even try to make them that way! It just came out that way naturally in a way! LoLz I'm happy you think the story is well written! *Smiles* And about our birthdays, what a coincidence! That's so cool! I chat with some people around my age that live all over the US now. How did I meet them? Because they read my stories or I read their stories. So it really doesn't matter where we live, IM is a great new invention that helps us solve that problem! LoLz Well, I wrote just a LITTLE too much here, hehe, BYE! Hope to hear from you again!
a/n: WHOA! This chapter sucked! I'm so sorry! I just didn't really have an idea for this chapter, all my mind is worried about is school, projects, tests, grades and of course every girl's concern, boys. *Sighs* I told you all school was evil! It should of never been thought of! But if it wasn't, we'd all be living in a world where we all speak like babies, everyone dies from a mosquito bite and worst of all, a world with no computers or internet!!!!!!! AHH!! *Sighs again to calm down* Well, hope you didn't get bored in this chapter, sorry it sucked. Hope others will have more effort and be much better.
